Don't those require that the client actually do the searching? (I couldn't devote enough time to read them now, so I only read the abstracts. Thank you, by the way, for sending the links; this kind of stuff is really interesting.) To be spe

You might want to recalibrate it; the mercury should have burst the tube at this point. Searching encrypted data is impossible without fully homomorphic encryption and fully homomorphic encryption is wildly impractical for use at present. "

It's pretty clear and well-written, so I think its going to be worth reading to explain why the system is wrong for as long as our system is a list of permanently trusted CA's. There's no reason I should be trusting all those CA's to sign

The outrageous thing is that even though this is a very clear-cut case of abuse you are probably right.

We should start a collection of these kinds of stories as case studies in why laws allowing any entity to legally compel removal of content are ripe for abuse. DMCA as a law isn't even that ridiculous or reprehensible; it mostly offers prot

I'm fairly certain yours is not an objective opinion.

The rules are arbitrary and capricious. I'd say, "don't rely on a single platform for your business especially if it has a track record of draconian policy."

This is the sort of frivolous lawsuit that makes a complete mockery of legitimate torts. There needs to be some way to make courts award damages to the defendant in ridiculous cases without making it difficult for small parties to sue large

In the short term, I'd like the government to start with RMS's plan--anything done in software is math and cannot be targeted by patents. They (apparatus for performing X patents) are overly broad, most are not non-obvious, and the system i

If I didn't have an Apple computer and sorely needed one I would probably use http://www.macincloud.com/ or get a Mac Mini.

I have an OS X machine. Otherwise I would jailbreak the device for developing and buy a Mac Mini or something if it turns out I need OS X to do codesigning when I submit it. If anyone develops for iPhone without Xcode I'd love to hear it. I

I know. I use OS X. I started using it for the exact reasons you list. I don't like where it is heading.

Well, yes and no. We don't get any viruses that run themselves and have access to our data, but we also have no way to share data between apps intelligently, nor can we prevent an app from sending our every interaction to Flurry, and we had

I've been recommending Android for a while, and here is another concrete reason why. Every time one of these stories appears I write the following: I develop for iPhone and I used to love OS X. The iPhone in entirety and OS X lately are aim

If you are hitting their pay wall every month, may I suggest you subscribe to the Times? You obviously want to read their content at least that much. To get that kind of quality writing isn't free, the writers really have spent years on the

Despite what appears to be hyperbole, I still don't know why you were downvoted. It's common throughout many industries to have more abusive policies for poorer people, and they continue to do so because the poorer people have fewer alterna

The creator doesn't need a backdoor; the early adopters have gigantic stacks of BTC that has never been used. The appropriate concern is not that they have a backdoor but that they flood the market and make it crash.

Oh, I was going to write about Freicoin. It seems like an incredibly fascinating concept and I'd really like to see an online economy emerge around it. Do you use it?

Yours was obviously an example, and I liked it! I'm teasing the parent post for totally missing your point and/or creating a false dichotomy that students have either ramen noodles or nightclub cocktails all day. Also, if you are using real

I'd prefer to invest in a student that is going to be more responsible about their health than eating ramen for a significant portion of their meals. But I'd also rather not invest in one that is going to spend it frivolously drinking every

Why would they bother MITM? They can just send a national security letter demanding the private key of the CA and a gag order forbidding them from announcing the compromise.

I have absolutely no facts whatsoever that they are misusing information. The only fact is that they have an obvious conflict of interest. I assume people interested in privacy would like to be aware of it. I'm sorry that you don't consider

I learned recently that Ghostery is owned by Evidon [1] and thus no longer trust it. My solution on Chrome is AdBlock, NoScript, turn off Flash, and turn off third-party cookies. I prefer Firefox, which I additionally use CookieSafe, Better

One of the most interesting things to me is that Plan 9 did per-application sandboxing before and better than the broken implementation Apple is trying to do now. When every device driver is manipulated by writing to a file, one only needs
